Fall Arts Preview
In which Metrolands crack staff attempts to assemble a useful guide to the fall arts scene in the Capital Region and beyond
George Clooney as Michael Clayton.
Fall Cinema Preview
Fewer remakes. Fewer comic-book heroes. Fewer sequels. It must be fall! This years lineup of films is better than last years, which was an improvement on the year before. It would be nice if this were a real trend.
Seriousand Not So SeriousArt House Fun
Lars and the Real Girl
Department of In Every Dream Home a Heartache department: Ryan Gosling is an average Joe who, spending too much time on the Internet, falls in love with a doll. If anyone can pull this off, its Gosling.
Margot at the Wedding
Noah Baumbachs much-anticipated follow-up to The Squid and the Whale stars Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh as sisters who, in preparation for the latters wedding to Jack Black, bicker and fight a lot. (My moneys on Jennifer Jason Leigh. Shes tough.)
The Darjeeling Limited
Wes Anderson returns with this quirky (of course) family dramedy about three brothers (Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman) on a not-so-spiritual train journey across India.
Im Not There
This should have been a train wreck, but the early word on Todd Haynes Bob Dylan biopic is positive. Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale are just three of the six actors who portray Bobby Z. at various points in his life.
Sam Riley is Joy Divisions late, iconic frontman Ian Curtis in this biopic. Should be loads of laughs. With Samantha Morton.
The Kite Runner
Drama of an Afghani expat going home to find his childhood friend. From the best-selling book, its directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Monsters Ball).
Southland Tales
Richard Kellys (Donnie Darko) much reviled, epic L.A. freak show is finally getting a release. It stars The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seann William Scott, and the plot makes Magnolia seem reasonable. In other words, we cant wait.
Oscar Wishes and Golden-Globe Deams
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Stephen Sondheims landmark musical gets Tim Burtonized in this big-budget adaptation starring Johnny Depp. Everyone so wants Burton not to screw this up. With Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter.
Michael Clayton
George Clooney stars as a corporate fixer in this high-stakes thriller costarring Tilda Swinton; its directed by Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote the Bourne films. This is why Clooney is cool. Tilda Swinton and Tony Gilroy? Thats using movie-star power for good.
No Country for Old Men
Why did it take so long for the Coen brothers to film a Cormac McCarthy novel? Their black humor and his grim Southwestern bloodlust seem a perfect match. With Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem.
Lust, Caution
Ang Lees political thriller, set in 1930s Shanghai, won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film festival a couple of weeks ago. It stars the great Tony Leung, newcomer Wei Tang and the ever-lovely Joan Chen. Its longalmost three hoursand earned its NC-17 rating for sex, not violence.
Things We Lost in the Fire
The odd pairing of Halle Berry, Benicio Del Toro and Danish director Susanne Bier (After the Wedding) is earning early raves for this post-trauma family drama.
American Gangster
Ridley Scott deploys the star power of Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in this based-on-true-events drama of organized crime in the 1970s.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Top-shelf acting: Cate Blanchett returns as the virgin queen in this costume drama costarring Clive Owen and Geoffrey Rush (reprising his role from Elizabeth). In this one, much Spanish ass will be kicked.
Reservation Road
More top-shelf acting: Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo are men whose lives are irrevocably changed by a road accident in this intense, emotional drama.
Lions for Lambs
All about the war: Robert Redford directs and costars with Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep in this drama about a U.S. soldier who meets an unfortunate fate in Afghanistan.
Even more about the war: Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal (as a CIA agent) discover that the U.S. government is doing Bad Things in this war-on-terror thriller.
Shades of The Childrens Hour: Keira Knightley and James McAvoy are lovers whose future is destroyed by the false allegations of her teenage brother.
Before the Devil Knows Youre Dead
This one could be great. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke are brothers who decide that committing a victimless crime is the way out of their (deep) troubles. Of course, this turns out not to be the case.
When Are You Comin Back, Stranger?
Cassandras Dream
Woody Allens London exile continues with this drama starring Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor. Its said to be more Match Point than Scoop.
Love and Marriage
Feast of Love
Old pro Robert Benton directs Morgan Freeman, Radha Mitchell, Greg Kinnear, Selma Blair and Alexa Davalos in this modern-day Midsummer Nights Dream. Mitchells always a plus, but Kinnear . . .
Why Did I Get Married?
Diary of a Mad Black Womans Tyler Perry drops the drag for this romantic drama with Janet Jackson. If it fails, will he ask, Why didnt I wear a dress?
Dan in Real Life
This seasons Steve Carell-starred sad-sack romance finds our hero romancing the lovely Juliette Binoche, only to discover shes dating his brotherDane Cook. Binoche and Cook is an even less likely paring than Simon Pegg and Thandie Newton (keep reading, youll see).
I Could Never Be Your Woman
This ones kind of a head-scratcher: A May-December romance with Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd? Shes not that old; hes not that young. Its directed BY Amy Heckerling, whose lousy last film was the aptly titled Jason Biggs vehicle Loser. Costarring Tracey Ullman.
Do It Again!
Hows this for a brain-twister: Michael Caine takes the Laurence Olivier part, and Jude Law takes the Michael Caine part, in this Kenneth Branagh-directed remake of the classic Joseph L. Mankiewicz thriller about a husband who sets a trap for his wifes lover.
The Heartbreak Kid
The Farrelly brothers direct Ben Stiller in this remake of the 1972 Neil Simon-Elaine May comedy, which starred Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd. This is really hard to say, but . . . Im missing Charles Grodin already.
For The Family
The Game Plan
The Rock is a flashy pro athlete forced to raise one of his inadvertent children (Madison Pettis) in this three-hankie family flick, costarring Kyra Sedgwick as a tough-as-nails sports agent with a heart of gold.
Martian Child
John Cusack adopts a troubled kid who thinks hes from Mars in this allegedly heartwarming drama.
Mama, I Want to Sing!
The old Broadway musical comes to the screen, starring Ciara, Lynn Whitfield and Patti LaBelle. As the title suggests, Ciara plays a girl who wants to, um, sing.
Fred Claus
Vince Vaughn is Santas underachieving brother Fred in this Christmas-themed comedy. Will it be more like a nice plum pudding, or just a fruitcake?
The Perfect Holiday
More alleged holiday warmth with Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut and Queen Latifah.
Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium
Natalie Portman is the mousy inheritor of 150-year-old Dustin Hoffmans eccentric toy shop in this family-friendly fantasy. Its hard to describe this one. And by hard to describe, I dont mean difficult; I mean thinking about the plot of this film makes my head explode.
Bee Movie
DreamWorks Animation brings us this tragic romance of a bee (Jerry Seinfeld) and a florist (Renée Zellweger). Theres a political angle, too: Bee Jerry is incensed that humans eat honey, and sues mankind. Why did they stop making ant movies?
Alvin and the Chipmunks
The trailer features one of the chipmunks taking a dump. Ha ha. Another childhood memory down the toilet. With Jason Lee.
Only a Fantasy
I Am Legend
Will Smith is the last man on Earth in this remake of the immortal Charlton Heston vehicle The Omega Man. No way can this version be as cool; the original costarred Anthony Zerbe and Rosalind Cash. (OK, Im old.)
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
There are a lot of dumb movies coming out this fall, but this sequel may well be the dumbest of them all: Nicolas Cage discovers that one of his ancestors might have been in league with John Wilkes Booth. And the papers that will clear said ancestor are in a secret compartment in the Presidents desk. Kill. Me. Now.
The Golden Compass
The popular fantasy trilogy comes to the big screen, with a big-screen cast: Dakota Blue Richards, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Eva Green. New Line is betting this will be another Lord of the Rings.
Amy Adams is the peasant girl and Susan Sarandon is the wicked queen in this animation-to-live-action, medieval-to- contemporary-New York City fantasy. Sounds complicated, but it certainly wont be.
Robert Zemeckis drops another Polar Express-style animated epic on moviegoers with this 3-D rendering of the old Scandinavian legend. With Angelina Jolie as monster Crispin Glovers mom. (Perfect casting, I must say.)
Funny Business
George Clooney takes us back to the quirky, violent world of 1920s pro football in this romantic comedy, which finds Clooney jousting with John Krasinski for the affections of perky (and, undoubtedly, pouty) reporter Renée Zellweger.
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Judd Apatow produced this kinda cruel parody of the life of Johnny Cash, starring John C. Reilly. Too soon?
Run, Fat Boy, Run
This is the one in which Simon Pegg dons a fat suit in order to drop the pounds and win back his long-lost fiancée, Thandie Newton. Thandie Newton and Simon Pegg? Right.
The Horror, the Horror
The Mist
The Green Miles Frank Darabont directs this Stephen King thriller. Gee, please dont let it be as long as The Green Mile. That was awful . . . long.
30 Days of Night
As winter night descends on Alaska, vampires move in. A point of vampire lore: Are blood popsicles an acceptable substitute for the warm stuff? With Josh Hartnett.
Saw IV
Stop. It. Now.
Sad Faces
Grace is Gone
John Cusack has earned raves for his performance in this drama about the effects of the Iraq war on military families.
Rails & Ties
Alison Eastwood (yep, Clints daughter) directs this drama about a train engineer (Kevin Bacon) who befriends a boy whose mom killed herself on the tracks. With Marcia Gay Harden.
The Kingdom
Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper and Jennifer Garner kick much terrorist ass to save Jason Bateman in this set-in-Saudi Arabia drama.
We Own the Night
Joaquin Phoenix owns a splashy nightclub and chums around with drug dealers. His brother, Mark Wahlberg, and dad, Robert Duvall, are cops. You can see where this is going. With this cast, however, the trip should be worthwhile.
Social Action
The Price of Sugar
Paul Newman narrates this documentary about a Catholic priest helping to organize Haitian sugar workers.
Darfur Now
Don Cheadle narrates this documentary about the genocide in Sudan.
What Is Art?
My Kid Could Paint That
A documentary about 4-year-old Maria Olmstead, whose paintings have sold for thousands of dollars. The filmmaker, however, begins to wonder if maybe her artist dad is helping the kid out.
Uwe Boll directs yet another film based on a video game. We dare you to fire up the Google, find the first three minutes of the film online, and watch them. You will not believe it. Seriously, its the most unfreakingbelievable three minutes of cinema youll see all year. You want a hint? Its an extended joke about the 9/11 hijackers.

Vendors: Be Part of Our Line-Up.
Update: We are SOLD OUT of vending space for this year.
It wouldn't be Old Settler's without our vendors. Every year, we put as much thought and planning into our vendor selection as we do for our festival line-up. We strive to get the mix exactly right-to help establish that free-spirited, artistic, eco-friendly sense of community our attendees love.
We are always looking to welcome new vendors into the Old Settler's family. But because they are so important in creating the right vibe, we have to choose with care. We can't accept everyone who wants to vend with us, and our guidelines are fairly strict.
Still, our vendors find it's worth it to work with us.. You'll reach a large audience with disposable income-over half of our attendees earn more than $75,000 per year. Festival-goers are educated, tech-savvy, creative, and environmentally aware-and they are loyal to companies that support the festival.
Please sign up for our mailing list for updates on vendor-specific information. You will get all the information you need from this list. Don't worry, we won't clog your inbox-it's a low-volume list with no discussions.
Please read all of our guidelines before filling out your application.
Products. Our attendees love high-quality, handmade, and local products. We are not local-only or handmade-only, however. If your company has an eco-friendly philosophy, so much the better.
Food. We only allow the sale of alcohol, iced tea, soda, and bottled water through the festival itself. But we rely on our vendors to provide a diverse menu of other high-quality food and beverage options. Those who include vegetarian fare will be given priority.
Presentation. The atmosphere is so important that we're selective about vendor booth presentation. We're looking for companies that project an image that's unique, creative, clever, maybe a little off-beat and quirky-but also high-end. We aren't looking for a "carnival" or "fairground" vibe.
Attitude. If your staff is made up of professional, friendly individuals who are passionate roots-music lovers themselves, that's the ideal situation. Your staff will have fun at the festival, and it will show.
Experience. We prefer vendors who have done this kind of thing before. If this is your first time and you're a great fit for us, we may take you on anyway. But we do ask that you read the guidelines carefully and come prepared.
Booth acceptance is based on the understanding that you will sell only those items listed on your application. You may not sell any additional items without our express written consent. In addition, those items we specify you may not sell must be omitted from your product line. In this case, we will contact you before depositing your booth fee.
Vendors may not sell any item with the Old Settler's Music Festival (OSMF) logos without the express written consent of OSMF. Additionally, you may not sell any item with the name or image of any act playing the festival, without express written consent of said artist.
You may not sell… Drug Paraphernalia, tobacco of any kind, glow or flashing items. Art vendors may not sell food or drink. Food vendors may only sell food.
Food vendors may NOT sell ice tea, alcoholic beverages, soda or bottled water. These items are sold exclusively by the festival.
We wish to offer a high quality mix of food and crafts. Our emphasis is on quality hand-made and/or local items, though we are NOT a 'hand- crafters only' or 'local only' event. OSMF is a juried festival and we pick booths based on, but not limited to, the following criteria:
- Hand-made or hand designed product.
- Unique, creative and quality merchandise.
- Previous history with us.
- Our desire to offer a quality assortment of merchandise.
- Vendor community and/or county residency.
Booth placement is based on, but not limited to, the following:
- Receipt of payment.
- Previous history with us.
- Our desire to offer a quality assortment of merchandise.
Please do not contact us to request a specific space. They are all great spots!
Due to the limited number of art/craft spaces available with a direct line of sight, on the main stage field, we are offering 2 pricing tiers. Not everyone who applies to vend will be placed on the main field, yet if this if your preference, please include an additional $50 check. If we are unable to accommodate your request, your check/s will be returned. Please list your preference/s in the special requirements area of your application, & it will be taken into consideration.
Vendors are placed at the sole discretion of OSMF staff & placement during load-in is final
Every accepted vendor will receive the following, for each booth space purchased:
Art: 2 weekend/working passes & 1 parking pass
Snack/Entrée: 4 weekend/working passes & 2 parking passes – Passes will be supplied during load in, once vendors have checked in. We cannot be responsible for getting your passes to your staff. You must make these arrangements. No passes will be held at will-call, or by vendor relations staff. – If you have extra employees, you will have to purchase additional employee wristbands. Additional wristbands will be available for purchase from your vendor coordinator during/after check-in. – Free, primitive camping @ Camp Ben McCulloch is provided to all paying vendors, with a vendor wristband. **Please read additional IMPORTANT information pertaining to vendor camping, located in the Camping/Hotels section of these guidelines.
Vendor booths must be open and staffed between the hours of:
Friday, April 17, 2015 – 3:00 pm until conclusion of last act on main stage (approx. midnight).
Saturday, April 18, 2015 – 10:00 am until show ends.
Gate opening hours are typically an hour before the music starts, yet are subject to change.
ALL vendors must be open, staffed, and ready for business when the gates open, and remain so until the festival concludes.
Vendors placed in main stage area are not allowed to close early!
Vendors are permitted on the festival grounds as early as 9 am, to set up during the days of the festival.
*Please see complete list of Vendor Guidelines in this PDF. They will be updated for 2015 shortly.

After SCO Dies
It's going to happen. Sometime in 2008, SCO will finally stop thrashing on the floor and die. Will it be Novell draining it dry of its last financial resources in the U.S. District Court in Utah? Or, will it be the bankruptcy court in Delaware divvying up the last bits and pieces of the once proud Unix company?
Me? I'd bet on Novell doing SCO in at the District Court with a lead pipe. Ah, summary judgment. In any case, SCO's death by suicidewhat else would you call suing IBM and other Linux-using companies without proof, or as Novell has shown, without even actually owning Unix's IP (intellectual property)?will soon be done. That may be the end for SCO, but it will leave a lot of unanswered questions.
Those include: "What will Novell do with Unix?" I don't know, but what I'd like them to do is to open-source as much of the code as they can. There's still some goodness left in Unix that hasn't been duplicated in Linux. For example, even generic Unix System 5 Release 5 can handle up to 32 processors and terabyte-sized files, and does extremely well at multi-path I/O.
I don't think, though, we'll see a completely open-source Unix. Ransom Love, the former CEO of Caldera/SCO, had intended on doing just that, but he found that Unix was filled with other companies' copyrighted code. Getting permission to open-source the whole kit-and-kaboodle would probably be a very expensive job for relatively little value.
Since Novell is a Linux company, it makes perfect sense to me if they were to cherry-pick Unix for its best code and release it to the public. If they elect to go this route, I'd expect to see the first code appearing within a few months of SCO kicking the bucket.

GREEN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES http://www.gp.org
For Immediate Release: Monday, December 3, 2007
Contacts: Scott McLarty, Media Coordinator, 202-518-5624, email@example.com Starlene Rankin, Media Coordinator, 916-995-3805, email@example.com Clifford Thornton, national co-chair of the Green Party, 860-657-8438, firstname.lastname@example.com
Cliff Thornton of Connecticut will receive the Robert C. Randall Award for Achievement in the Field of Citizen Action on December 8
WASHINGTON, DC -- The Green Party congratulates Connecticut Green Clifford Thornton on an award he will receive from the Drug Policy Alliance <http://www.drugpolicy.org> for his leadership in the movement to reform drug laws.
Mr. Thornton, co-founder of the drug law reform organization Efficacy, Inc. <http://www.Efficacy-online.org>, is a national co-chair of the Green Party of the United States. In 2006, he ran on the Green Party ticket for governor of Connecticut.
"Cliff Thornton's work for the reform of US drug policy is in line with Green opposition to the War on Drugs, unjust and draconian drug laws, and the use of drug laws to fill up prison cells with black, brown, poor, and young Americans. We're proud that Cliff is a member of the Green Party," said Alfred Molison, co-chair of the Green Party's national Black Caucus <http://gpblackcaucus.blogspot.com>.
Excerpts from a November 29, 2007 Drug Policy Alliance press release announcing the award:
"Longtime Connecticut drug policy reform advocate and activist Clifford Thornton will receive the Robert C. Randall Award for Achievement in the Field of Citizen Action from the Drug Policy Alliance. The award honors citizens who make democracy work in the difficult area of drug law and policy reform.
Thornton will be among leading advocates that work courageously to promote and implement more sensible drug policies who will be honored at the International Drug Policy Reform Conference, in New Orleans, December 5-8. The conference is organized by the Drug Policy Alliance and dozens of other organizations. The Drug Policy Alliance is the nation's leading organization working to end the war on drugs and promote new drug policies based on science, compassion, health and human rights. The winners will be honored during an awards ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 8....
Thornton is the primary speaker for Efficacy, Inc. -- a non-profit organization that has concentrated on drug policy reform. Thornton ran for governor in Connecticut in 2006 on the Green Party ticket. His campaign centered on drug policy reform. Thornton has done over 400 radio shows on drug policy. Thornton has spoken to over 300,000 people in some 450 venues about the drug war as it relates to health, economics, race, class, and white privilege. Efficacy is partially responsible for the removal of D.A.R.E. from the Ocean City, NJ school system in 2001. Thornton gave a presentation to the board of education that received great reviews and helped facilitate its demise. Thornton taught a graduate-level course, "Illegal Drugs and Public Policy" at Trinity College in Hartford, CT in 2002."
